Using your bank card in Thailand
While foreign credit and debit cards are now widely accepted in Thailand, there are still lots of places that only accept cash. If you’re taking your bank card with you, bear in mind that all Thai cash machines charge a foreign transaction fee of ฿220. That’s on top of any fees your own bank charges you for using your card abroad.
